My car have started to squeal and humming a little, probably from the belt drive, when started and rolling off in cold conditions.
My plan is to change the AC belt and generator/waterpump belt, together with the adjusting pully and deflection pully.
So far so good.
Then I had a look at the engine and discovered that the AC belt does not have an adjusting pully!

How to remove tension on the belt to be able to change it?
(E65 have an adjusting pully on this belt

I have got the suggestion, from another forum, to release the ac compressor and tilt it.
What do you think? Would it be possible to do it in any other way?
